[rt-users] All users can comment despite that right being revoked

[Alex Hall]

I've just discovered that "modify tickets" includes--for some strange
reason--the comment right. Thus, if we want users to be able to modify
other aspects of tickets, they automatically get granted the right to
comment as well. This seems like an odd decision, but at least I think I've
found the problem.

Back to removing the option from the Actions menu, then. I've been
searching, but I don't know where this action gets added. I've found a few
places where some actions are added to @Actions, but never "comment".

You mentioned a rights debugger in 4.6. Is 4.6 out for testing? Rights
debugging sounds very useful!
